What is Combat Hapkido?Combat Hapkido is an extremely realistic and versatile discipline of self defence that includes an extensive variety of strikes, kicks, joint locks and pressure points. The result is a practical, comprehensive self defence system that is fun and easy to learn and produces effective results in realistic situations. Combat Hapkido is also referred to as the ‘Science of Self Defence’.

There are no 'forms', 'kata's' or 'patterns'. There are no acrobatic kicks or hard blocks and all our kicks are directed to the lower part of the body. We will show you how to redirect your attacker’s aggression and power back towards them with little effort and minimum force.

Who is Combat Hapkido ideal for?Combat Hapkido is ideal for individuals who do not have the time, desire or ability to commit themselves to the demanding study of a more traditional martial art. Ideal for women, busy professionals, law enforcement and security personnel to name a few.

What is Combat Hapkido's goal?Our goal is to raise awareness and promote education in the areas of personal safety and self defence by teaching the most practical, realistic and effective system of self defence without the need for physical strength and athletic ability.
